….Is there a standard setting that can just put your scanned image onto the screen at a solid 100% ‘image size’ every time, regardless of what your ppi, resolution is set at? (maybe mine is set too high?)…How do I scan a single small section of a drawing with high resolution without scanning extra information, such as what was around that image (other drawings, paper, scanner bed) and then blow it up?
Scanning with high ppi (300-600), one section from a drawing could be enlarged with image size adjustments, etc., but the computer seems to first be in the habit of putting a scanned image into whatever image size it wants to.. it is usually monsterously big (filling up the screen but still only at 18% or 66% or so) compared with what the computer can manipulate efficiently. Perhaps there is way that someone knows of, to make a scanned image just come out as 200% size on the screen (not necessarily in regard to actual inches/ centimeters of the drawing’s size) Then, considering the resolution looked sharp at this 200% , I could just shrink it down to 100% ( or some other comfortable size) Better yet, is there a way to transform file sizes too big, but having everything i want besides the right file size ,into smaller file sizes efficiently ? ( i use jpeg files only)
thanks for you help!, confused photoshop user.
